people talk about “the media” and “journalists” and they picture the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, or cable news.
and sure, “the media” is the Big Five. but it’s also non-profit newsrooms, independent journalists, international and/or non-US publications, worker-owned media collectives, bloggers, local newsrooms, citizen journalists, podcasters, critics, community radio stations, documentary filmmakers, trade publications, freelancers, fact checkers...
Thinking again about the U.S. #Army employee who tried to stop Trump from breaking the law at #Arlington Natl Cemetery & declined to press charges against the staffer who assaulted her, as she feared retribution from Trump & his stochastic terrorists. My mind is stuck on this one.
Trump's #terrorism works. #Trump is not only a traitor, he's a terrorist leader.
A. Terrorist. Leader.
It's both sad & enraging to me that the #media, #DOJ, and Congress have all failed Americans so completely.

Read all about it! — why local news matters and what we can do to save it
Who's watching your local council, keeping you abreast of issues in your neighbourhood, and celebrating your community's achievements? That used to be the role of your local newspaper, but now many of us don't have one.Natasha Mitchell (ABC listen)
"Even if she takes the nomination by acclamation, we will know much more about the prospects of an institutional defense against Trump by whether the media that once pushed Biden from the race now finds reason to dislike Harris, or to suggest she is an unworthy of a position she has spent the last four years preparing for."

“The White House press corps would be in wolf pack mode if Biden were in the middle of a speech and suddenly veered into gibberish about boats and sharks. There would be front-page stories questioning whether the president, at 81, was suffering from dementia; and the op-ed pages would be filled with thumb-suckers about whether Vice President Harris and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment."
~ Eugene Robinson

My own general approach is not to post commentary on the news. If I find discussions that are more interesting than what I generally encounter in the mainstram media, I may post a reference.
My main source of news at the moment is the BBC World Service, supplemented by various podcasts, often Deep State Radio:

and online reading - generally reputable media outlets.

The #media is playing with fire again. What is this whole stuff about Trump winning the election against Biden if they were matched up again? I mean, on what basis would Trump win the election? OK, I get people are unhappy about inflation and such, but how would they expect Trump to fix any of it?
